The Gentleman Clothier by Norm Foster

Performance Dates: May 30 to June 14, 2025
Director: Cam Lund

Norman Davenport feels he was born in the wrong century. He has barely opened the doors to his new clothing store when Sophie barges in looking for work, followed by Patrick. Hesitantly, he hires them both and then proceeds to make a wish that changes everything. This is a fun old-fashioned comedy wrapped up with a bow!
